"Found Book": Previously, Can't find a book I read some time ago

And I could look through Amazon forever...same with Google.

I believe the title was The Princess and I believe it was a hardcover. I read it years ago, somewhere between 1968 and...not sure. It was about a woman who found out she had cancer. I'm not sure if she WAS married or got married. She was reluctant to get pregnant, but then she did and the cancer disappeared. It would help if anyone can provide possible books and authors.

I think your inquiry is too vague. Do you remember when you read it? Asking where you read it or how old you were when you read it may trigger a date range.

Can you remember anything about the cover other than it was a hardcover book? Can you remember where you got your copy?

Yay, I know this one. It's The Princess, by the Finno-Swedish Gunnar Mattson. (Original title Prinsessan, from 1966). It's been translated from the Swedish by Joan Bulman.

The story is about Mattssons wife, there is a book about the child too, "the Prince", but it doesn't look as if it's been translated. Mattsson wrote several auto-biographical books, but The Princess is his biggest success.
